Social ecology of concealing prosocial behaviours: The role of relational mobility
Individuals who have done good deeds sometimes try to conceal them. However, it has been understudied what factors shape individuals' concealment of prosociality. We address this question by adopting a socio‐ecological perspective to investigate what societal factors may facilitate or hinder concealment of prosociality. We hypothesize that lower relational mobility, or less freedom of relational choice in society, will be associated with less pos…

Paradox and Hope: Kenji Sawada, Superstar
Kenji Sawada, a Japanese pop culture icon, embodies a paradox. Early in his decades- long career, he sang songs with lyrics reflecting patriarchal gender norms. At the same time, he deliberately used multimodal semiotic resources at multiple levels to undermine the hegemonic masculinity expressed in those lyrics. In contrast, Sawada’s recent songs convey his egalitarian gender ideologies and political views; having assumed full agency over his ar…
Satisfaction with cultural attractions: Interaction Effect of Tourists’ Regulatory Focus and Cultural Attractions’ Interpretation Tools
Cultural attractions such as enjoying local performing arts or local cuisines are important components of cultural tourism. This study shows the influence of tourists’ regulatory focus on the satisfaction of cultural attractions. In addition, the study examines the interaction effect of tourists’ regulatory focus and cultural attractions’ interpretation tools on satisfaction. The result shows that promotion-focused people experience higher satisf…
Identity Presentations of L1-Japanese Female Professors in the United States
This article examines how female L1-Japanese professors who teach Japanese language and culture on U.S. campuses present their identity in interviews. An analysis of their narratives reveals that they employed various tactics of intersubjectivity, and presented themselves in complex and strategic ways. Their multiple grounds of identity (e.g., they are female, Asian, ethnically Japanese or Korean and Japanese, foreign-born, L1 users of Japanese, …

The impact of gender-role-orientations on subjective career success: A multilevel study of 36 societies
Incorporation of information and complementizers in Japanese
Although these previous studies make insightful observations, they have not necessarily been successful in explaining the actual distribution of complementizers. Despite the importance of context emphasized in recent development in linguistics, contextual factors either do not play any role or play only a minor role in these studies. In most of the studies the researcher bases his/her analysis on intuition and not on observation of actual utteran…
Nationalism and gender in the representation of non-Japanese characters’ speech in contemporary Japanese novels
This study demonstrates that two types of language ideologies (linguistic nationalism and feminine language normativity) influence how Japanese contemporary novels represent non-Japanese characters’ speech. It investigates the role of gender and observes that novelists only infrequently assign highly gendered utterance-final forms to non-Japanese characters when they speak in Japanese. This tendency is more salient among the representations of ma…
Vernacular style writing: Strategic blurring of the boundary between spoken and written discourse in Japanese
This paper shows that some Japanese non-fiction writers are using various structural characteristics of spoken discourse in their writing. Their written discourse includes non-canonical word order and long sentences that are produced by combining a series of clauses. Their sentences may lack case or topic marking particles, but they may contain clause-final particles. Their discourse looks like it may have gone through a dynamic, on-going formati…
Connection and emotion: Extensive clause combining in contemporary Japanese fiction
This paper looks at the phenomenon of extensive clause combining in written Japanese discourse. Extensive clause combining, in which multiple clauses are combined to make an extremely long sentence, is usually associated with spoken discourse. However, some contemporary writers use it in their writing along with other features of spoken language. By examining novels targeting young adult readers, I observe that writers are using sentences with ex…
Asian masculinity celebrated and otherised
Japanese writers portray Chinese and Korean men as physically masculine, which often involves heightened sexuality, in two ways. First, some female writers discuss Japanese women’s heterosexual desire for Chinese and Korean men by emphasising these men’s physicality and desirable masculinity. Second, Japanese novelists often assign hypermasculine language to Chinese and Korean male characters. By celebrating Chinese and Korean masculinity, such d…
Impoliteness and hypermasculine language in Japanese shock advertising
This article shows that by using hypermasculine language in shock advertising, advertisement creators highlight its aggressive and crude image. Hypermasculine language has been commodified as a marker of impoliteness. This analysis utilises the concept of indexical field and makes two theoretical contributions. First, it shows that one can employ the concept in the analysis of styles, which are broader linguistic resources than individual variabl…
Masculinity, race and national identity
Language ideologies have been of central concern to the study of Japanese language, gender and society. Many scholars have researched ideologies surrounding representations of Japanese women’s speech; however, investigations of representations of men’s speech have been limited. This study contributes to filling this gap through the analysis of non-Japanese male characters found in contemporary Japanese novels. The article reveals that authors ass…

Multiculturalism or Cultural Nationalism? Representation of Ellie Kameyama as a Conduit and the Other in the NHK Morning Drama Massan
NHK’s decision to depict the story of Ellie and Masaharu Kameyama in the drama Massan seemed to suggest its desire to reflect Japan as a more multicultural society. Combined with positive representations of international couples, the drama seemed to embrace multiculturalism. More prominently, however, NHK promoted cultural nationalism. Although the drama praised Ellie as an ideal Japanese woman, it used her as a conduit through which Japanese tra…
Listening to Global Englishes: Script‐assisted shadowing
The current rise in interactions among English speakers with different accents entails occasional difficulties in understanding unfamiliar English accents. This study attempted to propose a teaching technique using shadowing to listen to unfamiliar English accents. The participants were 96 Japanese university students. One group worked on shadowing assisted by script, one on shadowing only, while the control group only listened and did not engage…

Self-mockery in Japanese
Self-mockery is defined as a linguistic act in which the speaker makes a statement and then denies, invalidates, or expresses his/her nonserious attitude toward the content of the utterance. It is a metalinguistic commentary that is distinct from sarcasm/irony in that (i) it does not involve contempt for others, (ii) it does not echo somebody else's utterance, (iii) double-voicedness associated with sarcasm/irony is expressed in two phrases in se…

The Relevance of Factivity to Complementizer Choice in Japanese
This article re-examines the correlation between factivity and complementizer choice in Japanese. Kuno (1973) argues that the concept of factivity proposed by Kiparsky and Kiparsky (1971) to analyze the choice of complement types in English is a determining factor in complementizer choice in Japanese. Observation of data collected for this study indicates that there are numerous instances that cannot be accounted for using the concept of factivit…

An analysis of tte - and to yuu no wa -marked phrases in Japanese discourse
This paper examines the use of tte- and to yuu no wa-marked phrases, which has been called the meta-use of linguistic forms. The basic quality of these phrases is to indicate that the entities they represent do not belong to the speaker's territory. This comes from the lexical meaning of the phrases, which connotes that the speaker feels distance from the entities. Because of this connotation, the use of these phrases may be extended to cases whe…
